Daniel M Ryan

The majority of my work is with adult individuals and couples who have had difficulty in managing stress, anxiety and/or anger, as well as those who grew up in alcoholic or other dysfunctional family environments. Difficulty with being assertive (vs. passive or aggressive) is another major area of focus in my work with clients. I have also worked extensively with people with chemical dependency issues, as well as with couples having conflict. Helping clients to develop the skills they need to navigate better through challenges in many facets of their lives is something that I value a lot. I want to work with people in the most efficient and cost-effective way possible since I believe that is very empowering for the person. I am on the more active end of the therapeutic spectrum, giving feedback to clients, including recommendations for what to work on between sessions in order to maximize the effectiveness of our work.
